Final pour of the season

Pouring wine for Alexis Slough, Ingrid Lee and LeaAnn Donnelly (L-R) is Susan Garrison of Steppe Cellars in the photo above. The Sunnyside-area winery was one of many in the Yakima Valley that hosted events for Thanksgiving in Wine Country, the final wine tasting event of the year. At right, Garrison teaches visitors how to make wreaths from freshly cut grape vines. The next wine tasting event won’t be until February when wineries celebrate Red Wine and Chocolate. Until that event Steppe Cellars will be open by appointment only.
